egilesSome very specific and helpful tips about looking at and evaluating websites.
-
Before you leave the list of search results -- before you click and get interested in anything written on the page -- glean all you can from the URLs of each page.
-
Personal pages are not necessarily "bad," but you need to investigate the author carefully.
-
What type of domain does it come from ?
(educational, nonprofit, commercial, government, etc.) -
You can rely more on information that is published by the source
-
Look for links that say "About us," "Philosophy," "Background," "Biography", etc.
-
Look for the date "last updated" - usually at the bottom of a web page.
-
An e-mail address with no additional information about the author is not sufficient for assessing the author's credentials.
-
- How recent the date needs to be depends on your needs.
- For some topics you want current information.
- For others, you want information put on the web near the time it became known.
-
You should hold the author to the same degree of credentials, authority, and documentation that you would expect from something published in a reputable print resource (book, journal article, good newspaper).
-
- In the text, if you see little footnote numbers or links that might refer to documentation, take the time to explore them.
- What kinds of publications or sites are they? Reputable? Scholarly?
-
You may have to find the original to be sure a copy of something is not altered and is complete.
-
Pages that offer opposing viewpoints as well as their own are more likely to be balanced and unbiased than pages that offer only one view.
-
"Googling" someone can be revealing. Be sure to consider the source. If the viewpoint is radical or controversial, expect to find detractors.
-
- Step back and think about all you have learned about the page. Listen to your gut reaction. Think about why the page was created, the intentions of its author(s).
- If you have doubts, ask your instructor or come to one of the library reference desks and ask for advice.

- Train your eye and your fingers to employ a series of techniques that help you quickly find what you need to know about web pages;
- Train your mind to think critically, even suspiciously, by asking a series of questions that will help you decide how much a web page is to be trusted.
Evaluating web pages skillfully requires you to do two things at once:
This page is organized to combine the two techniques into a process that begins with looking at your search results from a search engine or other source, follows through by investigating the content of page, and extends beyond the page to what others may say about the page or its author(s).

Personal pages are not necessarily "bad," but you need to investigate the author carefully.
-
What type of domain does it come from ?
(educational, nonprofit, commercial, government, etc.) -
Is it published by an entity that makes sense?
Who "published" the page? -
Look for the name of the author, or the name of the organization, institution, agency, or whatever who is responsible for the page
-
If this is all you have, try emailing the author and asking politely for more information about him/her
-
- Is the page dated? Is it current enough?
- Is it "stale" or "dusty" information on a time-sensitive or evolving topic?
- CAUTION: Undated factual or statistical information is no better than anonymous information. Don't use it without confirmation.
-
Does the purported background or education look like someone who is qualified to write on this topic?
-
n scholarly/research work, the credibility of most writings is proven through footnote documentation or other means of revealing the sources of information.
-
As in published scholarly/academic journals and books, you should expect documentation.
-
If there are links to other pages as sources, are they to reliable sources?
-
- If reproduced information (from another source), is it complete, not altered, not fake or forged?
- Is it retyp
-
ed? If so, it could easily be altered.
-
Are the links well chosen, well organized, and/or evaluated/annotated?
-
Is the page listed in one or more reputable directories or pages?
-
- Why was the page put on the web?
- Inform, give facts, give data?
- Explain, persuade?
- Sell, entice?
- Share?
- Disclose?
-
Think about the "tone" of the page.
-
Arguing a viewpoint with examples that suggest that what is argued is ultimately not possible.
-
s this as credible and useful as the resources (books, journal articles, etc.) available in print or online through the library?
-
The burden is on you - the reader - to establish the validity, authorship, timeliness, and integrity of what you find. Documents can easily be copied and falsified or copied with omissions and errors -- intentional or accidental.

marybsiddonsSeries of questions to ask yourself in order to determine credibility of website.
-
Is it somebody's personal page?
-
- Government sites: look for .gov, .mil
- Educational sites: look for .edu
(Note that this can include personal student and faculty pages as well as official college and university pages) - Nonprofit organizations: look for .org
(Note that this is no longer restricted to nonprofits)
- Many country codes, such as .us, .uk. and .de, are no longer tightly controlled and may be misused. Look at the country code, but also use the techniques in sections 2 and 4 below to see who published the web page.
-
Look for links that say "About us," "Philosophy," "Background," "Biography", etc.
-
Who wrote the page?
-
Is it current enough?
-
What are the author's credentials on this subject?
-
- Step back and think about all you have learned about the page. Listen to your gut reaction. Think about why the page was created, the intentions of its author(s).
- If you have doubts, ask your instructor or come to one of the library reference desks and ask for advice.
- 2. Be sensitive to the possibility that you are the victim of irony, spoof, fraud, or other falsehood.
- 3. Ask yourself if the web is truly the best place to find resources for the research you are doing.
-
The web needs to be free like that!! And you, if you want to use it for serious research, need to cultivate the habit of healthy skepticism, of questioning everything you find with critical thinking.

Public Stiky Notes
And footnotes or links to confirming sources are tools of the trade for serious researchers.
Hays, e.g., doesn't say: "It's common practice for military leaders to be protected from danger in battle" when he notes that "Mao was carried" on the LM. Nor does he add that Mao had malaria. Nor does he add that "reading" is what military leaders do as they plan their strategies and tactics.
Nor does he mention that Mao surely did more than just flirt and tell his officers to take dance lessons in the months in Yanan after the LM was over.
Short version: He was obviously biased and had an axe to grind about Mao. A more balanced critic of Mao would weigh his strengths and weaknesses, not just cherry-pick his weaknesses.
